HP Pavilion dm1-4000sd

After a few years of faithful service my MSI Wind u100 netbookje it could not at all what I wanted. Time for an upgrade. My spec's were not too complicated
- need 1080p 60fps video can handle my full HD video
- and not only play, but also can edit (do not flashy, but good quality)
- slightly higher resolution than 1024x600 on a 10 , 1 "screen
- yet portable / remain modest in size
- via HDMI to my LCD TV to plug in
- and then even for a dime on the 1st rank " When the MediaMarket a 19% VAT action had so bullet hunted by the church and the choice between about 3 AMD E-450 netbookjes with 12 "screens (Asus 1025-something, and a samsung HP dm1). After some deliberation and roads is therefore became HP (Samsung was also nice, but just got more expensive and the Asus I found less in look-n-feel). Later it turned out several benchmarks / comparisons that DM1 was fine choice too (just slightly faster than the Asus in most tests). few days after install and configure them as my initial findings at a glance: - all expectations around handle 1080p 60fps are fulfilled, provided you play the video with Windows Media Player. Play via Quicktime does not run smoothly. The Windows Live Photo Gallery is playing video files during a slideshow or off, but if you do this fullscreen is he still falter. , I'm at least happy, because now can fine my SDHC card from the camera pulling in and play on TV (H.264 mp4 1080p 60fps video). Also edit the simple windows movie maker is fine. Although not iMovie, but it does what it should do with some patience and can spit out a fine full HD movie. [EDIT Feb 21, 2012] See comments: there appear certain video formats still problems. when playing a Blue Ray rip 1080p MKV AC3 pull the GPU apparently not format or is not properly controlled. Both Media Player XBMC will not play it smoothly - size and housing are really neat. gives sense of quality. see also the Beats Audio speakertjes fine and give a much better sound than my previous netbookje. The matte gray casing is a magnet for greasy fingerprints. had just expected that would be the most high-gloss cases, but again you should not shy away from fatness or occasionally brushing less - connect HDMI to TV is also nicely full screen, without black bars and the like. delicious plug-n-play - only 'loss' is that the keyboard is not backlt, so in the dark you have to be 10-finger blind tiepen - also strikes me that the left side (with air cooling vents of the processor) well on temperature. is not directly disturbing, but is significantly higher than body temperature - the resolution of the little display is much more enjoyable than the previous netbookje, but the screen itself does expect that you have him standing right in front of you pinch chipped. under a different viewing angle color really fall off .... - battery life, I can say little, but several hours at a time so again progress. battery is pretty flat integrated so the laptop has no weird bulges [EDIT 21-Feb-2012] now have some more 'practical'. Battery lasts a few hours with it, but certainly not a full day with heavy use. Since this laptop is private for me, that's no problem because especially in the evening and use it on weekends and you can do without the charger should be long enough. But if so you want at school all day without a charger to work or something, then the battery may be too light ... Conclusion: Although it is not ultrabookje which still needs to be 2 to 3 times as much extra down again, but I also wanted to No flashy SSD, but enough capacity to haul. my entire iTunes and videobibliiotheek In short: 326 - I'm back with my heppie upgrade! [Update Feb 21, 2012] We certainly the reviews of the dm1-4100ed. This is almost an identical setup, and in the meantime there is a lot of useful feedback (eg how I've switched to 620Gb 7200rpm, my own hard drive 500Gb 5400rpm 8Gb assembled and installed XP 64bit http://tweakers.net/produ...-pavilion -dm1-4100ed.html [Update 22-Feb-2012] photos added [Updated 18-Mar-2012] returned to HP for repair because of lame hinges Bale! Are just so happy with my net-/notebookje and I'm after more than one month physical problem with the hinges. The screen can freely move about 2cm back and forth, and no longer fits in 1x well. Yesterday itself equally cautious the caps had under the rear rubbers loose and looked, and guess what? hinges seem indestructible from the outside, but it's all an illusion., because they are hollow inside and there is a small metal hinge where you at will with no option. So original memory and original hard drive neatly placed back and today along MediaMarket Arena. Neatly helped the service and was told that often happens with this type of hinges and this he really should go back to HP. Ben'm now so few weeks lost course I will review further update as soon as a problem is hopefully solved quickly. Now I'm incidentally secretly a bit worried about the longevity of the DM1. Did m only a month and ample storage'm always neatly in a fine case logic NetBook bag that is specially made ​​for it. Either, even with careful use went wrong. Let's hope that when mounted in the factory hinges were not fixed properly and put it is now firmly put! [Updated 9-4-2012] In the reactions already mentioned that the DM1 neatly within 2 weeks restored by MediaMarket of the lame hinges and everything is now neatly in place. The hinges themselves are obviously not stronger, but everything feels back 'as it should be. " 'm A bit extra careful with opening and closing the screen, because the laptop it would still be a time lasts Speaking screen: in my own reactions and tweakers review you read the glossy screen is not always nice, quite if you want to work outside. For this I have been on eBay for about 10, - an anti-glare film was purchased and then of course a few weeks to wait until that was home delivered from China. Obviously well take the time to place the film without substance underneath tight and must say it's quite a good progress. The responses you will find a few links to some before-and-after photos.
